Question

This dynamic also applies to same-sex marriage. The challenged laws burden the liberty of same-sex couples, and they abridge central precepts of equality. The marriage laws at issue are in essence unequal: Same-sex couples are denied benefits afforded opposite-sex couples and are barred from exercising a fundamental right. -excerpt from Supreme Court syllabus Obergefell v. Hodges

According to the excerpt the ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges did what? Select all that apply. (2 answers)

a. extended and continued the protections of the Equal Protection Clause to same-sex couples****
b. applied the Fourteenth Amendment to race
c. rendered the Elastic clause exempt from the debate
d. applied the Due Process Clause to situations of discrimination based on sexual orientation
e. continued the protections of Title IX****

Answer 1

how does the excerpt apply to title IX?
The majority opinion applied this logic...<<4) The right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty. Same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry. Baker v. Nelson is overruled. The State laws challenged by the petitioners in these cases are held invalid to the extent they exclude same-sex couples from civil marriage on the same terms and conditions as opposite-sex couples.
